As we can... as can others

Hi.

http://www.ieltsbuddy.com/old-buildings.html

To conclude, I believe that it is very important to protect and preserve old buildings as we can learn about our history as can others from other countries.

_______________

My paraphrase:

To conclude, I believe that it is very important to protect and preserve the old buildings of a country since both the citizens and foreigners can learn about its history.

Is my paraphrase correct? Could you please suggest a better version?
